Can I ask what is the issue with defender ? I am in the midst of testing Win 10 after removing Defender from the install.wim
It has to do with v1.4.3 of destroyer program It seems that it gives an error code 577 when trying to start windows defender.
ahh right... Start Defender.. Opposite would be better I recon. Then get the usual third party app in. I have a problem with a fresh Win 10 install deleting files all by itself. And I am putting Defender at blame.
I personally think defender is a piece of cr*p but still that's just my opinion Some people happen to like it...
sort of good app but why would anyone want to make windows xp out of windows 10? this app killed cortana totaly along with search witch was in quick launch. i dont care cortana but how can get search icon back in quick launch? oh yes if you use this tool make sure you make RESTORE POINT, i didnt and now my install is lil f up but ill fix it later
sorry for that newbie post and tnx for fast fix. i upgraded to win 10 2 days ago before even didnt saw win8 so all is new
Is it not possible to make a script to Enable all those things that this script disables??? It has broken my Windows Update, so that I can´t get Insider Versions of windows anymore ;-( It seems like it´s a group-policy that disabled those, but I am running Windows 10 Home, that doesn´t have gpedit.msc... I also discovered that I had System Restore disabled for my C: drive, I´ve enabled it now, but I don´t have any restore point prior to me using this tool... I´ve successfully re-enabled Windows Defender, and also the Windows HOSTS file, but I don´t know how to restore my Windows Update!!!
It would have to be a registry entry that you would look for to try to enable windows update... But apparently if you try to disable telemetry you can't get windows updates (done purposely by Microsoft)
well i had a system restore point which i used , copied hosts file back and used the reg file and the command to restore the missing apps , that was it i guess. by the way whats the need for below scheduled tasks? schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\Customer Experience Improvement Program\KernelCeipTask" /Enable schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\Customer Experience Improvement Program\UsbCeip" /Enable schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\Power Efficiency Diagnostics\AnalyzeSystem" /Enable schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\Shell\FamilySafetyMonitor" /Enable schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\Shell\FamilySafetyRefresh" /Enable schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\AitAgent" /Enable schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\ProgramDataUpdater" /Enable schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\StartupAppTask" /Enable schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\Autochk\Proxy" /Enable schtasks /change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\Customer Experience Improvement Program\Consolidator" /Enable schtasks /change /TN "Microsoft\Office\OfficeTelemetry\AgentFallBack2016" /Enable schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Office\OfficeTelemetry\OfficeTelemetryAgentLogOn2016" /Enable can I just disable them and have windows update still working?
Just to clarify: I CAN use windows update, but what I want is to be able to join the "Get Insider Builds"! The "Get Started" buttton is completely grayed out now! and on top of the windows that comes up when I click on Settings/Windows Update/Advanced Options it says that "some settings is handled by your organisation"... I have also enabled all of the scheduled tasks above... And also I have run your two uninstall scrips from page 11 Nothing helps, I still can´t join the "Get Insider Builds" in the windows update, it´s still grayed out...
A quick solution is when a new build is released, you use my uninstall script, download the new build, and then you can use my install script to once again disable telemetry
The problem is that the Windoze boys know very well that kids like us will try to rip out useless stuff especially telemetry. They must have a few boys that try to stay one step ahead of you or even arrange that certain apps don't work if you play around with their stool pigeon
